Introducing Howell Baby #5!!

Hi, Everyone:

If you haven't heard, we are having another baby. Here is our baby's first ultrasound. It was taken on January 12th. Our baby is due August 24th, 2011. So now, we will have a winter, a spring, a summer, and two fall babies.

I already saw the baby's head and arms and tummy and heart.

I am now 9 weeks along and ready for the first trimester to be over. I hate feeling like I want to hurl all the time.

The kids are really excited and are already arguing about what we are having. The boys of course want it to be a boy and the girls want it to be a girl. (I think that Taylor wants the baby to be a girl so that she can have her own room. :) )

In any case, Mike and I are really excited to finally complete our family.....and yes, this is the last one.

Love you all,

Michelle

Advanced Reading "AR" Parade

All week Kaori has been telling us about an AR parade that she will be in and how she wants us all to see her participate in it. Come to find out Kaori has been going to the library and reading from the advanced reading book list were she takes a comprehension test and then is given points. Once she accumulates so many points she becomes apart of the AR club.

I probably should have known about her activities at school, but I am very proud of the work she has done on her own and her love for school. Out of all the Challenger elementary first grade classes she was one of the ten students that won the award.

Congratulations Kaori..!! We love you and are so proud of you!!

Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!

We hope you guys have a wonderful anniversary! We love you very much!

Grandma and Grandpa in Colorado

Dear Grandma and Grandpa,
Thank you for coming and visiting us. We had fun playing in the backyard!


and collecting roly polies

Thank you for walking with us to the park.

Wasn't it so much fun going to Red Rocks?!? It was a cloudy day, but still so much fun to spend the day there.

We had so much fun at Tiny Town. Did you hear that the Tiny Town train crashed last week?

I'm a silly boy.

Thank you for hiking around Rocky Mountain National Park with us and taking such beautiful pictures of the scenery.

This picture makes us laugh because Grandma looks a lot taller than Grandpa.

But we LOVE this picture and will probably use it as our Christmas card family photo.

Thank you for going to Boulder with us and enjoying the overpriced farmers market and pretty park.

and the street performers were fun too!

But most of all THANK YOU GRANDMA for your delicious food! We love your food and ate SO MUCH OF IT. We wish you guys lived closer and that we could see you more often. We hope you come back out to Colorado soon. But for now, we're counting down the days to Thanksgiving in Texas.

We love you and miss you!

Love,

Evan and Brady (Brett and Cache too)
